VK - I could not see the point in you and LB tweaking each other.
I accept that you are not connected in any way with the "travel industry". We could spend weeks on JB trying to define that. Let's not.
Good. You'll both now stop it. We'll await BW's further posts - if they want to post any. As ChicoG says, we may all miss the feeding frenzy.
On the money front - and it is always worth following the money, I have always had enormous sympathies with Branch Secs in TUs dealing with the money. From the 70s on Merseyside...........Lots of big old pennies in ancient Old Holborn tins come to mind. However, somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 million quid a year is some very real money.
To slightly mis-quote - a million here, a million there, and soon you're talking about real money........
